Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by ECUS Ltd to carry out an archaeological excavation on land at the junction of Liversage Street and Carrington Street, Derby. The work was required by a condition of planning consent for the phased redevelopment of the area as affordable housing, flats and commercial premises. The archaeological excavation targeted the footprint of properties which formerly fronted Carrington Street, initially uncovered by an earlier evaluation. The excavations revealed the well-preserved remains of six houses fronting Carrington Street. The entire widths of numbers 12-18 were revealed, along with rear yards, outbuildings, outside privies and associated garden areas. It was possible to allocate garden space to individual or paired properties. The identified archaeological features broadly fit into one phase associated with the building of terraced houses evident on the 1852 Ordnance Survey map of the area and the archaeological data correspond well with this historic map. The artefacts identified during the investigations were of post-medieval or modern date containing a large proportion of refined tableware, one marble top and a copper-alloy fitting. These suggest that the properties were not constructed for the poorest members of society and may have housed artisans or lower middle classes. |
